I’m a die hard marxist revolutionary. Please i need direction to be part of this movement. Help me save my country from anarchy.
Greetings,
Thanks for the comment comrade. We don’t have a manual or guidebook on how to start or lead a revolution in this or that country. Broadly, we advocate a strategy of concurrently seizing power, implementing social reforms which empower oppressed people and pursuing a radical anti-imperialist foreign policy.
It might be useful to read what past revolutionary leaders have written on the subject. Mao Zedong, Lin Biao, Che Guevara, Amilcar Cabral and Ho Chi Minh are all great places to start. Nothing they’ve said should be taken as holy writ, yet it is important to study and understand the histories of revolutionary struggle. As well, there has been some analytical research on the topic of revolution. Taking Power, by John Foran comes to mind.
My viewpoint is that a creative application of a revolutionary practice needs to occur. Oppressed people under revolutionary leadership need to seize a degree of power where possible, extend that power and lend aid and support across community, national and state boundaries. Most Third World states are merely lackeys for imperialism. These states have nothing to offer the people, either domestically or internationally, and should be revolted against. Third World social democracy or bourgeois nationalism, under which the proletarian has a degree of power should be supported internationally and brought into the sphere of a global front against imperialism. Ultimately, the struggle against imperialism is an international one. Revolutionary forces within these countries should both support the state insofar as it is struggle against imperialism and retain its independence so as to continue the domestic struggle for full power and social reform.
Beyond the encouragement to study and the further abstract, somewhat doctrinal prescriptions, I would advise to work to build independent power for the people: one that directly challenges and overthrows the comprador-bourgeois elements within your own country; addresses the basic needs of the masses; engenders social equality; can physically defend itself; and is necessarily part of the international struggle against capital.
